This was a game changer for me. The Unreads tab became a bit like email. I'd check it out a few times a day and respond where needed. Greatly cut down on the amount of distraction-by-noise I suffered in a day.

I'm no lawyer but it seems like, by these criteria, half of Reddit could be terrorists
considering this guy's AI generated concept art and the fact that this concept is far from new (eg Snow Crash's smart skateboard wheels), I have to imagine he plugged the idea into chatgpt and fleshed it out until it resembled something patentable.
not the parent but Airstream or any other RV with an aluminum or molded fibreglass body.
most RVs have thin skins glued to a type of particle board and right angle joins everywhere. those joins will leak and when they do, the leak is often imperceptible. the interior walls and subfloor will rot before you notice anything's wrong.
RVs with a molded fibreglass or aluminum body use overlapping panels to naturally shed water and the materials used don't corrode (caveats apply, eg galvanic corrosion of aluminum). generally this means the RV won't rot out unless the panels themselves are holed, which is unlikely. it's not uncommon to see an Airstream that's been sitting in a PNW field for 30 years and find that the interior is musty and likely mouse chewed but structurally fine.
of course the mechanicals -- frame, axles, gas lines, appliances -- all need to be maintained and they are more expensive compared to their non-RV counterparts, but if you're handy and aware of your limits, these don't have to be show stoppers.
maybe pick an ID at random, record it in a "used" list, and store the code in the note as a property? an event handlers(1) could manage removing used codes from the list when a note is deleted. likewise, another handler could check if new notes (ie those imported from another vault) already have an ID and register it as used or ask the user if they want to generate a fresh ID.
I've seen that same figure for YT ad revenue alone. sponsorships can range from $0.015-0.030 per video for channels with 1k to 50k subscribers.
at a biweekly cadence, they'd need ~6M views per video to hit $150k with ads alone. if you figure another $0.025 per view for sponsorships, then they would need 6M views per year or about 240K per video.
looking at Patreon stats, it seems reasonable to assume that a channel with 25K subscribers could pull in about 1K Patreon subs with effort. if each is paying $5/mo, then that would add another $60K/yr in revenue (though I imagine a lot of that would get eaten up by fees and extra costs.
Based on the docs Neon has in GitHub, I have to disagree. The mechanisms are similar, esp how the Page Server keeps some pages cached locally, but they serve different goals. The Page Server cache and WAL consensus are both temporary storage.
In tiered storage databases individual tables or rows would move automatically and permanently between different mediums according to some criteria. eg: Latency sensitive data on nvme near the user, frequently accessed data stored on nvme and replicated globally, infrequently accessed data stored on spinning disks, etc.
I think the volume would really be a lot. For the program we'll be dealing with 900 (!) blogposts (30 residents times 30 blogposts). I doubt something with that volume would actually end up with many subscribers
Also, I would feel bad about splitting the audience of the authors. I feel like you really want to build your own audience early on.
And last, I am worried it would push people towards homogeneity. My ideal outcome from the whole project is that we will have a bunch of really very different blogs and essay writers find traction who share little of an audience, but add some important perspective to the world.
Definitely not "same subject" if we are thinking of something as narrow as "Frontend development" but I would like many people to find a niche/style/perspective they feel at home in. Something as consistent as simonwillison.net seems good for many.
Also, my guess finding such a style/niche will take a bunch of exploration, so I think most people should probably write in a bunch of different styles and on a bunch of different things during Inkhaven to get more evidence about what they enjoy writing about the most (and which of their writing people want to read).
doesn't all of this assume that the startup reaches a liquidity event which favors the employee though? or at least that the startup is hot enough that there's a secondary market for those shares?
unless I'm misunderstanding the argument, I dont see how those hypothetical returns could be considered "expected returns". startups which reach a place where employees can profitably cash out seem far too rare to reasonably expect a return at all, never mind a large one.
Since a person works for one company at a time (usually), and it can take 3-5 years or more for a startup to reach a place where the equity is worth something, this argument reads to me like "the returns on a Powerball win are so much higher than your projected lifetime earnings that playing the lottery is a smart financial move".
It's a probabilistic model. It assumes (correctly) that the low probability of a home run times the home run's valuation is quite large ("expected returns" in the probabilistic sense).
> this argument reads to me like "the returns on a Powerball win are so much higher than your projected lifetime earnings that playing the lottery is a smart financial move".
That's stronger claim than it is making, but yes in a sense it is saying the lottery can be a good move because the expectation is large - that's what VCs do after all.
Note that all the model aims to do is value the equity package. If a public company is offering more than what this model values the startup equity package as (and this often is the case!), it isn't worth it financially to work at that startup.
this all seems fine but I have to question whether it's smart to gate the Desktop Experience behind a paywall.
dumping people into an unusably spartan desktop and leaving them to figure it out is great for the people who are keen to spend hours setting up the perfect config, but those people are a tiny minority.
wouldn't it make more sense to use a full-featured desktop experience to grow the pool of users?
